Trump Calls Marine Le Pen To Say Embezzlement “Ain’t No Thang”

Donald Trump has reportedly called French right-wing politician Marine Le Pen to assure her that she has nothing to worry about after she was found guilty of embezzlement.

Over the three-hour phone call, Trump is said to have calmed down the distraught Marine Le Pen (which is French for ‘the pen is underwater’) by saying that embezzlement isn’t really a crime anyways.

“I got embezzled once,” Trump is rumored to have said. “It was a horrible thing, just terrible, the worst, but they said I did it better than anyone else. But they let me do it, you know? They said I was guilty and made me pay a lot of money, but they don’t remember any of that. Voters don’t remember. It was a show trial, a fraud, not me, I’m not a fraud, the trial I mean.”

The Pen is said to have assured Trump that this was different from one of his stupid American criminal trials and will likely end her political career. However, Trump disagreed.

“I say let ‘em do it. They let you keep your job and if anything it makes you more popular. When you’re voted in you just make convicting a president illegal. You should try that. Maybe become the president and then you could make it illegal, you know, to be embezzled.”

But that probably won’t happen since the Underwater Pen now has to serve four years under house arrest and pay €100,000 personally and €2 million from her party. And I don’t know about you, but that seems like a lot of money. She also can’t run again, which is really sad because that was her dream since she was a little girl. Penny will likely appeal the verdict.

People on X are, of course, popping off claiming that this is the death of democracy as we know it. And quite rightly so, embezzlement is a cornerstone of democracy.

Who knows, maybe France will one day be able to live in peace with corrupt politicians, but until that day, I’m sure we can all agree on the definition of embezzlement.
